NCT ID NCT01267955

Summary

This study tested an oral drug called vismodegib in patients with advanced chondrosarcoma, a rare type of bone cancer that has spread and is difficult to treat. The main goal was to see if the drug could stop the cancer from growing for at least six months. Researchers also tracked how long patients lived without their cancer getting worse and monitored for side effects.
